What is Remote
Patient Monitoring?

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a HIPAA compliant healthcare delivery method that uses technology to monitor resident vitals outside of a hospital setting. RPM technology electronically transmits health information between residents, nurses, and physicians and is often used to care for residents with acute or chronic health conditions.

Why Should You, as a Resident, Consider RPM?

RPM allows for proactive care versus reactive care. With the help of RPM devices, a team of nurses and medical providers will monitor your vital signs remotely. Using clinical knowledge, data analysis, smart alerts, and software the team will be able to alert the you, care staff, and/or the primary care team if there is an abnormality in your measured vital signs.

What Are Some Common RPM Devices?

There are two main types of RPM devices: wearables and contactless. Wearables are the most common forms of RPM devices today.

Those that are contactless have the highest rate of compliance in community settings. The device must digitally upload resident data to qualify (cannot be self-recorded). The type of monitor designated for you will be determined by the physician, in collaboration with input from the nursing staff, and based on the resident's need.

Is RPM Covered by Insurance and is there a Copay Associated with RPM Services?

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and an increasing number of private payers cover RPM as they see the value in providing excellent value-based care. For Medicare beneficiaries there is a 20% copay, however, this copay may be covered if a resident has supplemental coverage or Medicaid. Private coverage varies and may or may not require a copay for RPM services. There is no cost to the community for RPM.

Will Permission for RPM Services be Secured Prior to Enrolling?

Yes. Prior to enrolling in the RPM program, you and/or your medical decision-makers will have read and understood the program in its entirety and agree to participate.
